To @ZZ whom it may con-cern: i

Be it known that l, SAMUEL A,- Nennen, of .Edgewater Park, in 'thecounbj; of Bin 1o in lington 'and State of New Jersey, have ingina()vented a certain new and useful improvebin of inienl', in Type-Cases,whereof the following .in sani i" e is a spccllication, reference being;had to the the leif, anc. ri,"

The present application which is a. division of saidprior application, relates to elle ty le holding drum and its coacting;parte. Said. drinn comprises means for resiliently retaining lle:flexible chase Wrapped upon it; saisi means being` manually movable liorelease lube abn'tlncn'if-f a chase and perniilJ it to be remove 'fromthe footed. by drinn lo transference iro a printing cyliin .glance jrer, or storage in piane position, and, sani drum is provided with meanswhereby il; may be completely rotated, or turned to enc- .ncessivelyprcsent the type channels thereon projecting in position toreceive lie type, including *L5/*pe in the cbannl means whereby saiddrum may be detained. so that said 'Liege inap in selectedcircumferential position. tbe My invention comprises the Various novelThe cone features of construction and arrannement to the cla bereinarterdescribed. is slionu ln the drawings, Figure is a-iragmenparent taryplan View of a case conveniently ein- ",ndfmil... bodying my invention.Fig. 1l is a vertical 1 sectional View of said oase, taken on the lineIl in Finn l. Fig. lll is a fiagmeniary see- "is mourned to turn looselyon saicl sliaiit if? and has at its opposite ends the arios having thehook ingers extending radiA ally through the eircinnierentiallyextending slots 55 in soicl heads e9 and 50. The spring' 5S whichencireles said shaft yl? Within said hook frame 5l is attached at itsrespectively opposite encls to said frame-anti the drinn bead 49, andthe tension of said spring is such as to "press said movable hooklingers 53, in the flireetion of the arrow mai-lied on Fie. Il, towardthe liooli studs 60, which are rifgiellyY seeureel in said beads 49 and50. Said drinn supports a 'leiiible type chase having,` the oppositeenel plates 61 and 62 with openings 63 anal @l respectively adapted forengagement with saicl hook studs 'and hook lingers 5". Said cliaseplates 61' and being ourveclte 'fit the drum as sbown in ll, areconnected by the rivets 56 in rectangular relation Wit the ieXiblespring metal bands 67, es shown in Fig. l, and, the series of typeChannel bars or rails 68 disposed in parallel 'relation, transversely"with respect toy said bands 67 and each separately seeurerl tbe latter,conveniently by be rivets Seidl channels 68 are tapered at theirellis-shown at tlie right side of Fig; l, to sllorl at that edge of theeliase, flaring entrances to the type spaees 7l between saiel channels5s that.

the type 36 may be readily sligl into saialspaces 71, from the composingstiel: aforesaid, withv which they llave been piek-eci from the ease, asabovedesoieibe'cl f By turning the' imdb beinclle', 'Wbiela isfrietionally engaged by the sjoizfigA brelze 72, in'terpose between saidlnobenlitlie bearing 45 as shown-in Fig. lli sai@ 'lclrn'm may becompletely roteteQ-te Wrap the blanket about it, When'suoliblanles isbeing put in place. The handle also provides means for turning tbe-drumas 'tlesiretl to present 'any selected type eliannel 7l in position toreceive type from said. composing stick. To holcl the ruin in suchselected Jposition l provide tbe -tlruni head 50 with the circular rack7S having recesses spatially corresponding with the type channels 71 insaid chase, as shown in Fie'. Il, enel mount in the frame plaie 3,belowr 'iid 75, the fletent plunger 80, which, as shown in lll, isnormally pressed inward by 'the spring Sl.. to enter said recessesbetween li teeth ol" sail/l rack-7S. Said plunffei- S0 has the knobbundle S2 provided Willi ille stutl normally fit-leal in the socket Siin said frame 3, as shown in Fig'- l, so that' sai l= plunger mayreeipioeae 'to successively engge the teeth of' said rack TS when tbestud drum is turned, without releasing saicl from its socket. However,when sirefl to tui-n said drinn freely; said 5i" which is also movableabout its saiel imola may be rendered inoperative by Witlitlra'wing it'until saitl stiid S3 is freed t9 and then turningtlie -Knob 82 untilstoel is presented against the plane taco of r1aid standard 3. Therebeing no other means limiting the rotary movement of said elruni; it maybe observed that tlie. construction and errangernent of said plunger 8l)and rack 78, shown in Figs. I :incl lll, is suoli that said plungerbrings sai drinn into the precise position desired when the lianclle hasbroughtit into substantially the desired position, and there cletainsit, by centering itself between the oircuinferentially opposed inelinesof the selecteci recess the rack. That is to say, as saisi plongeeenters each recess, between the roel-i teetliyit'sliglitly rotates saicldrum, by bearing open eiil'ier of the oppositely inclinediooti facesuntil it is eenterecl 'bef tweenl them, enrl then prevents accidentaldisplaoement of sait?. drum from such seleeteei position.

' The cleiriees above elescribeel may be cooperatively,employed asfollows: Type 36 are stored in the i'ont spaces 35 in the ease, inaccordance with the characters which they bear, as indieateci by 'theindex plates l-L 85; tj/'pe resting open 'tlie abntments 39.

.The eoniposiiion is 'then made with the type pieiefl from theirrespective spaces by the oniposing stiet ef resaid; 4t'ne lines of typesing sueeessively teanserred from saicl tiek to the spaces Ila in tbeflexible chase carried by the flruni; and the latter being turned tosuccessively present said spaces for leerling. When the desired numberof lines of type have been insertein the chase, the latter may beremoved from the drum by turning the hook 'frame 51 in the drinn, in thedirection opposite to the arrow shown in Fig. EL by the handle 86, sothat said chase plates be lifte from their hooks anal the eliaseunwrappecl from' the drum to be stored in 'plane position or Wrappedupon a printing drum.

il-,Then it is desired to redistribute in the ease, type which 'navebeen used in said' :foin tbe essentiel features of my es clenefl in thesingende-:l claims,
